Extending about eight inches beyond the wrist, short of the elbow but not by much, these women's gloves are ideal for dressy occasions that require something shorter than the traditional opera length. They are a great choice for ladies seeking gloves with no vents, buttons or decorative details, just fine stitching, smooth lines and unadorned styling in the softest and finest Italian lambskin leather. The artisans at Fratelli Orsini in Italy have outdone themselves with these standard eight-button length long leather gloves.
